Once the game restarts they are powerless to do anything. Ref can only reverse his decision if play hasn't restarted (this covers things like red cards etc too).
I understand that, I just find it odd that the VAR didn't see the spurs players in the Liverpool half and the ball being placed midway in Spurs own half for the restart and say "Hang on, why aren't they lining up for a kick off?!"
What’s the evidence that it is any better elsewhere ? This is about VAR rather than refs. Pre VAR we managed for decades with on field mistakes. That isn’t acceptable when we have a perfection promising machine.
It's just bizarre, isn't it?
VAR or Refs?
Jared Gillett has come over from the A-League to ref in the Premier League so it is possible.
When you actually start to scrutinse everything it seems impossible that someone didn't actually notice.
I guess I mean VAR. It is two different issues though.
I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be, I assume they sign contracts etc, but doubt they restrict moving abroad
Ish.
That's my take too. These decisions aren't made unilaterally and instantly, they talk before, during and after and the examples I've seen they use phrases like 'on field decision'.
True, but you can’t magic that. If we start from a position of respecting the on field officials we have a better chance of improving refereeing performance. I know that if someone told me I was crap at my job the whole time I wouldn’t bother.
They only admitted to one error in our match at Spurs though. They ignored the other three, or was it four?
